Lego gay set
Lego launching first LGBTQ place called &#;Everyone Is Awesome&#;
Lego is celebrating Pride Month in June by starting its first ever LGBTQ-themed set, &#;Everyone Is Awesome.&#;
Inspired by the Pride flag, the piece set features 11 Lego figures painted in different shades of the rainbow flag, as well as black and brown to represent diversity, and light blue, ivory, and pink from the transgender flag.
Only one figure has a specific gender: the purple one, which features a beehive wig in a &#;clear nod to all the fabulous drag queens out there,&#; the set&#;s designer, Matthew Ashton, told The Guardian. The rest have no specific gender, allowing them to &#;express individuality, while remaining ambiguous.&#;
Ashton, who is Lego&#;s vice president of design, said that he created the initial put make his office &#;feel like home with something that reflected me and the LGBTQIA+ community I’m so proud to be a part of.&#;
When other LGBTQ people told him they &#;loved it,&#; Ashton decided to put the set into production.
In a separate statement, he said he wanted to make a Lego set that symbolized &#;inclusivity and celebrates everyone, no matter how they identify or who t
Lego is about to obtain a whole lot gayer, with the timeless construction toy launching its first dedicated LGBTQ+ Pride kit.
The upcoming Everyone is Terrific set, which launches on 1 June to highlight the beginning of Parade Month, is based on the colours of the Progress Pride flag. It incorporates black and brown minifigs to reflect the diversity of the homosexual community, and light navy, white, and pink figures to represent trans people, alongside the six colours of the original Celebration flag.
The set was engineered by Lego&#;s vice president of design, Matthew Ashton, who is openly queer . Ashton says &#;I wanted to create a model that symbolises inclusivity and celebrates everyone, no matter how they identify or who they love.&#;
The put opts for a minimalist approach, with a cascading &#;waterfall&#; of each of the flag&#;s eleven colours and a featureless minifig to match. The lack of expression or defined gender on the figures is deliberate, to enable people to project their own identity onto any of the characters, irrespective of hairstyle or any other gender or sexuality signifier.
The only exception is the purple minifig sporting a big beehive &#;do, which Ashton specifically mar

Talking about how he came by to design the unused set, Ashton said that “Being LGBTQIA+ myself, I knew I needed to step up to the plate and make a real statement about adore and inclusivity.” As Ashton tells it, he faced prejudice as a homosexual man ever since he was a child, and every small gesture counts tow

They can’t create anything with rainbow shade figures.
That’s a amazingly unfortunate opinion of kids’ imaginations after saying they’re supposed to use your imagination and create any story you want. Kids contain no problem pretending a stick is a person, dog, magic wand, diet, etc, etc, but a rainbow colored figure is a show stopper?! ha.
Are we really going to pretend this is what children would want to play with?
I think most kids that like legos to begin with would like a bunch of rainbow colored characters, because kids tend to cherish colorful things.

Any Legos are better than no Legos, but I bet any kid would prefer something more appealing and/or adaptable

Idk if you’re being serious. Are we really going to pretend that this would be something a infant would pick over other lego sets?
Tell me with a straight face this is a good lego set if it had nothing to do with LGBTQ.
